69 – search complete?
It wasn’t just my body that came to mind. The carriage itself was soaring into the air.
The face of the adventurer who shouted to close the window changed to stupid. My head can’t keep up with the situation.
Legs floundered in the air. My body jerked forward, then my shoulder was blocked by the window and I was pushed back into the road.
Then, the back of the head hit the window frame, and a pop sound was heard, and the head bent forward. If I hit it a little harder, I would break my neck.
The bottom started to recede. The wagon seemed to have no sign of coming down to the ground, and the adventurers gradually got smaller.
It felt like it had risen more than 20 meters. This, if it slams into the ground as it is, the carriage will almost certainly break.
I looked at Christine. Curiously, Christine was still standing with her feet on the floor of the carriage.
“Christine.”
“Speak, my God.”
“Is this the monster you were talking about?”
“That’s right. This one is not the end. Even at this moment, more than two hundred monsters are flocking to this place.”
“More than two hundred? Why?”
“I didn’t even notice that because of this lamb’s vice. Please blame me for my shortcomings.”
The carriage tilted sharply and slammed its back against the wall directly behind the driver’s seat. Through one of the walls I could hear the coachman screaming and the horses galloping as hard as they could.
I opened a small window connected to the driver’s seat. The coachman was still screaming, not hearing the sound of the spear being opened.
I quickly looked ahead.
I could see the horses repeating their pitiful kicks and trolling here and there because they couldn’t break the rope connected to the coachman’s seat, and the blood soaked in the coachman’s seat.
‘… … Wait, blood?’
Come to think of it, it was very dark in front of the driver’s seat. Obviously, it must be morning since we left at sunrise.
Why is the front so dark? Immediately after asking the question, something sharp flashed in the darkness for a moment.
It was teeth.
Teeth as long as two long spear blades put together, thicker than a human thigh. Hundreds of such things were nestled in the dark.
Upon closer inspection, the blood that soaked the coachman’s seat was from one of the horses that died instantly after being lodged in its teeth.
That’s why it was dark outside. The scene from the coachman’s seat was not the sky, but the inside of the giant monster’s mouth.
This mysterious monster burst out of the ground, swallowed the horse, and soared into the air, and thanks to that, it seemed that the carriage was also carried up into the air.
If it was a halfway cheap wagon, the moment the horse was pulled over, the connecting parts would have been smashed, but this top-of-the-line wagon somehow managed to withstand the strong shock, so it was a disaster.
‘I’ve never seen anything like this before.’

Judging from the fact that the wagon rose more than 20 meters into the air, the size of this monster was more than 30 meters at least.
I had never heard of such a large, underground crawling, hive-type monster that formed groups of hundreds.
‘It’s like a new monster, so let’s pretend to be deceived and eat it.’
I was on the side of not being very reluctant to attempt suicide by being eaten by monsters.
Basically, their stomachs stink so badly, and if they didn’t die after being dissolved in stomach acid, there was no good way to get out of there.
Sometimes there were situations where my sword couldn’t pierce the monster’s stomach.
Then, there is no choice but to wait for another adventurer party to catch the monster while repeating melting and regenerating in the stomach.
Please note that this is an experience. How long did it take for you to see the sunlight again? Was it one month or two months? I almost got mentally ill.
‘But now I have Christine.’
As for monsters, it wouldn’t matter since there was a nun who could tear them apart like tearing paper with her bare hands or burn them like burning straw with her holy power.
Christine won’t be watching as the monster that swallowed me runs away.
While I was thinking about that, the distance between the densely packed teeth quickly got closer as if he was about to shut up.
The carriage rattled and rocked as the teeth broke the wagon wheels. Because of that, the driver’s body, which had been screaming in fear for a long time, was thrown out of the coachman’s seat.
The coachman, who was thrown off, struggled with his limbs in the air several times before crashing onto his teeth.
The weak pieces of flesh that make up the human body were easily pierced, and that was the end. After a slight rigor mortis, the driver stopped.
His dead, blood-stained eyes stared blankly into space.
Mouth was closing quickly. The sound of the horses gurgling gradually died down. It was time to make a decision.
I stepped back from the window and grabbed the wagon doorknob.
“Christine, you’re out of the wagon for now.”
“What will God do?”
“I’m going to be eaten by this one. It’s a monster I’ve never seen before. There’s something like, right?”
“If God so wills.”
Christine bowed her head.
“If a monster swallows me and tries to escape, catch it and kill it, or leave it alone for now. It probably won’t take that long. Five minutes? At that point, it will be decided whether it can kill me or not.”
“Do you leave the unbelievers outside alone?”
At that question, I didn’t try to open the carriage door, but looked back at Christine. In Christine’s empty eyes, only me was reflected.
“…if you can, save me.”
“I understand, my God.”
After answering, Christine broke the wagon and ran outside. I kicked the door as hard as I could. Even if it was a little later, the door was twisted and I couldn’t open it by myself.
With a thud, a thump, the teeth crushed the stretched wagon. The wagon’s durability was gradually reaching its limit.
As soon as I jumped out of the wagon, the wagon broke into pieces.
The inside of the mouth, which was huge enough to swallow four horses whole, had shrunk to such a size that I couldn’t even lie down on my own before I knew it.
As soon as the foot touched the tightly packed teeth, it was cut off.
Losing my balance because my ankle was completely torn, I collapsed on my teeth, and my whole body was pierced right away. I don’t know what it’s made of, but it was filthy sharp.
“Is it because he crawls under the ground? What kind of teeth are these?”
He tried to regenerate his body and jump into his throat, but gave up when he could tear his limbs apart just by brushing his teeth. If you stay still like this, this monster will take care of it and put it in your stomach.
And as I thought, the flesh between my teeth gradually rose. The teeth, which were almost the size of my calves, had shrunk to about an inch before I knew it.
From beyond, I could see the hollow of darkness opening open, where not a single light could enter. Finally, the entire mouth was filled with mushy flesh, and the body tumbled into the pit.
“Watch your feet! Don’t stick to one place, keep moving!”
“That’s easy to say! Ooh, fuck for real!”
Kane jumped out through the ground and swung his sword at the monster that opened its mouth. With a neat touch, the tip of the mouth, which was probably the head, was cut off powerlessly and rolled on the floor.
Red blood dripped down. The inside of the mouth was packed with sharp teeth.
“Why did this suddenly appear?!”
“I don’t know, damn it! Just keep fighting!”
The appearance of the monster that attacked them now was just black and was no different from a slightly larger earthworm, but the moment its mouth bit into it, its flesh was cut into chunks.
There was no use in putting mana on his body. An A-level adventurer would be able to block even spear knives by encircling mana, but these earthworms pierced through it as if it were natural.
Ronika, who was chanting magic, suffered like that. While trying to use magic on a huge monster that surged up with the wagon in its mouth, it was bitten by smaller ones that jumped out from the side. The scream was short.
Even the way these guys attack was nasty.
It suddenly jumps out of the ground and aims at the face or major organs, and if it is bitten, it is the end and the damage runs back into the ground.
Cutting off his hair while avoiding the attack at the exact moment these worm-like creatures attacked was quite difficult even for Kane, an A-class adventurer.
If I hadn’t been able to use the body enhancement, I would have surely died long ago.
It doesn’t just come out of one place. It was safe to say that any place where humans could stand was a place where these guys could pop out.
‘The wagon… … Is it already wrong?’
The wagon their employer was riding in was caught in the jaws of a gigantic worm of enormous size.
If he had just opened the wagon door and jumped outside, Kane would have tried to accept it, but he didn’t show any signs of doing so, perhaps because he was frightened.
Well, a giant earthworm over 30 meters was about to swallow the carriage whole. It won’t be easy to make a rational decision.
“Aagh! help me!”
“Luke!”
A comrade’s screams of pain erupted from behind him. Kane hurriedly ducked to avoid the mouth of the earthworm that was aiming at his face, and then ran to Luke.
It was already late.
A dozen or so black earthworms were clinging to Luke’s body as he desperately struggled with his limbs and were eating them.
A long, wriggling black rope burrowed into the man’s abdomen. Luke rolled around on the floor, complaining of pain.
The struggle did not last long.
Luke’s limbs stiffened at the end of a short, groan. The monsters were digging out the intestines, and the body was just shaking here and there.
Kane stared at him blankly.
“Kane! Kane! We have to run, right now!”
Herony, who had approached while chopping up several monsters, shook Kane’s shoulders vigorously. Kane, who was almost unconscious, suddenly came to his senses.
You were right a hundred times when you said you had to run away. But, where are you running away? The land around Kane and Heroni had already been filled with earthworm monsters for a long time.
Despite dozens of corpses lying on the ground, the ground was still crowded with monsters wriggling beneath them. There was no choice in killing that much.
Heroni stood back to back with Kane. Kane was also back to back with Heroni.
No words were exchanged between the two. All they had to do was to stance in order to take even one more monster with a sense of their fate.

Just as Kane was about to cheer up, dozens of black earthworms jumped out of the ground at the same time and attacked.
The sun descended upon the earth.
The monsters that jumped towards Heroni and Kane fluttered in the air. Their skin was burning.
The monsters that fell to the floor changed their names in the blink of an eye. At first glance, their rapidly shrunken corpses looked like dried and twisted plants.
The demonic spirits, which seemed to eat Kane and Heroni at any moment, ran away all at once. The two, dumbfounded, lowered their weapons in a daze.
This sensation, like the sun, was being felt by the nun who was riding in the carriage.
The nun gently landed on the ground. The nun easily jumped out of the monster’s mouth, which could easily exceed 30 meters, and slowly moved towards Kane and Haroni.
It’s not like he’s exerting all his strength to exert his divine power. Even though only a very light, weak divine power was pouring out, the surrounding monsters went mad.
Cain, who was looking at the nun who was purifying the surrounding monsters as if possessed, met her eyes.
In an instant, the light disappeared from the bright yellow eyes.
